“Heaven’s sojourn… Justice in Heaven’s stead.”
In that moment, a resonant voice resounded across the star-strewn heavens, startling Li Hao once again.
The source of this voice was the enigmatic figure before him. Its resonance lingered in Li Hao’s ears long after.
As the words unfurled, Li Hao envisioned the figure transforming into a Dao, upholding divine justice.
In this instance, these words seemed to illuminate the meaning of “Tianxing” and the mission of the Tianxing Sect.
“The heavens brim with vitality. A gentleman should seek self-improvement.” In swift succession, the magnificent voice rang out anew.
An arcane allure threaded through the voice, imbuing Li Hao with an unending determination.
Simultaneously, Li Hao observed an extraordinary aura enveloping the majestic figure. It was an aura of Righteousness, akin to surging mountains and rivers. It emanated a sense of benevolence and grandeur.
This aura materialized as a gleaming white light, visible to the naked eye. It emanated a resolute energy capable of repelling all malevolence, reducing it to naught.
This was… Righteousness energy.
In the ensuing moment, the figure dissolved into a radiant white glow, hurtling directly toward Li Hao. The velocity was so prodigious that Li Hao barely had time to react.
Then, the pure white light entered Li Hao’s glabella, causing him to shiver again.
Hmm?
This sudden scene caught Li Hao off guard.
Swiftly conducting a self-examination, he uncovered no overt abnormalities.
Nonetheless, he remained aware that something had infiltrated his being.
However, in the next moment, Li Hao’s astonishment surged as he realized his cultivation’s vigor spiraling within him beyond his control. It was as though an unfamiliar force was melding with his immortal spiritual energy.
What was going on?
Amid his bewilderment, a dawning realization swept over him, rendering him entranced.
As these revelations coalesced, Li Hao succumbed to slumber.
Li Hao appeared to have journeyed through an exceedingly protracted dream. In this vision, he assumed the role of a scholar. His diligence in scholarship kindled his enthusiasm, and he ardently pursued a scholarship. Yet, as the story unfolded, a sense of darkness pervaded everything.
Ultimately, the scholar grasped a longsword, vowing that Righteousness would uphold the realm between heaven and earth. He pledged to eradicate all injustice from the world.
Righteousness existed forever.
Just like that, after an unknown period of time…
Within his dream, Li Hao appeared to live an entire life.
On this day, he woke up from his dream.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered open. Disoriented, he gradually took stock of his surroundings. He lay upon a boulder, with a limpid stream flowing serenely beside him. Not far off, a pavilion retained its silent stance.
At this moment, he was lying on a rock with a clear stream flowing slowly beside him. Not far ahead of him, a pavilion still stood quietly.
The Heavenly Pavilion was still there.
However, he was already outside.
“That dream… felt so real.
Li Hao could not help but sigh. Clearly, he was in a dream, and this dream was so real.
“Huh? How can my cultivation be so powerful?”
In the next instance, Li Hao exclaimed anew. Astonishment marked his tone as he realized his cultivation had surged to the high-grade Heavenly Immortal realm. He stood only a step away from the Golden Immortal realm.
Just a short while ago, he had only achieved the low-grade Heavenly Immortal realm. To have surged through two tiers was a velocity that even riding a rocket could not match.
Additionally, something else had found its way within him. It was a strand of Righteousness Qi.
This Righteousness energy had integrated seamlessly with his cultivation and spiritual might. Controlled at will, it felt as natural as executing a Dao technique.
This was really a pleasant surprise.
Li Hao had not anticipated such an extensive harvest from his venture into the Heavenly Pavilion.
First came an enhanced prowess in array formation and pill refinement. Then, he gained mastery over the potent Nine Heavenly Hammers. Soon followed the empowerment of the Star Demon Sword. Lastly, his cultivation underwent an astounding breakthrough, coupled with the acquisition of a strand of Righteousness Qi.
The son of destiny was only mediocre.
Li Hao stood up, acutely sensing the unparalleled power coursing within his frame. He felt capable of moving mountains and turning seas.
Glancing around, he observed nothing extraordinary. The elderly man in green attire had seemingly not returned yet. Whether he had embarked on a task or still lingered away remained unknown.
Merely the Heavenly Pavilion occupied the vicinity. He could not remain here indefinitely, even if the old man had requested him to stand watch.
Pondering for a moment, Li Hao resolved to venture outside for a glimpse.
Without hesitation, he strode forth, easily navigating the previously daunting matrix of restriction arrays.
The surrounding restriction arrays were no longer a problem for Li Hao.
However, at this moment, the bamboo forest before him, together with the dense fog, dissolved into thin air. A beam of light rapidly approached, unveiling a figure before Li Hao.
Dressed in green garb, the figure exuded an elderly aura. Who else could it be except the green-clad elderly man from earlier?
Li Hao was shocked to see the old man.
Immediately, he said respectfully to the old man, “Senior, you’re back.”
The elderly man in green regarded Li Hao with a solemn demeanor. Even though Li Hao had veiled his cultivation, he felt as if the elder had penetrated his facade, as if his very being lay exposed under the elder’s discerning gaze. “I returned long ago! Nevertheless, you’ve encountered a fortuitous chance…” The old man spoke calmly, then nodded.
“Quite impressive, I must say. You’ve ascended to the high-grade Heavenly Immortal level. You possess the qualifications to…”
Li Hao was speechless.
What did he mean? Li Hao was surprised to hear this, and of course, he could not help but feel happy.
Lost in his thoughts, Li Hao was snapped back to attention by the old man in green, who had once again become agitated. The elder admonished Li Hao, “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to accept me as your master? I’ve spent a thousand years cultivating and have only taken two disciples thus far.”
“I’m Li Hao. Greetings, Master.”
Immediately, Li Hao bowed to Li Hao.
Although Li Hao had only met the old man in green once before, this was their second encounter. From him, Li Hao sensed an overwhelming aura, an aura of Righteousness.
The old man in green in front of him also had the aura of Righteousness.
A person of this disposition could not possibly be malicious. Coupled with his enigmatic cultivation, he might even surpass the sect master in strength and was evidently a fitting candidate for Li Hao’s master..
